Civil Protection Overview

PT Assignments

Protection Team assignments will be automatically assigned to active PTs throughout the day. These tasks are affected by the socio-stability. PTs are required to fullfill their given assignment, as they are compulsory.

PTs without an active assignment will be assigned discretionary duty. It is up to the PTL to exercise judgement and focus on an appropirate task. This including patrolling, augmenting other PTs, conducting investigations, or even performing off-hours customs detail. That being said, discretionary duty is incompatible with public service detail and ration distribution.

PERMANENT RE-LOCATION

Permanent re-location is a means to dispose of anti-citizens by relocating them to the fortress prison of Nova Prospekt.

This can be achieved by restraining the perperator and loading them into the prisoner transport truck.

Note that this is a one way trip and the character in question will be permanently relocated, effectively removing them from the game world for good.

Terminal Verdict

Terminal verdict is the highest form of punishment available to citizens.

Important note: This does not result in a character kill outside EMERGENCY CODE VOID.

If an individual meets the criteria for receiving PERMANENT-RELOCATION then terminal verdict may be administered if ANY of the following conditions are met:

  -Subject is armed and dangerous, and units are unable to capture the target without risking their life
  -Subject is in a restricted zone or about to flee into one.
  -Ordered by Dispatch or RL
  -Fractured (RED) socio-stability
  -Re-administration protocol
  -Discretionary prosecution (EMERGENCY CODE VOID)

Example: A citizen resisting arrest qualifies them for PERMANENT-RELOCATION, attempting to flee into a 603 zone qualifies them for terminal prosecution

Civil Codes & Verdicts

One cycle equals one hour in-game time.

Malcompliance citation is the act of pacifying unruly citizens to remind them of the civil codes.

Penalty points are negative CVD entries on biopad (i.e -10)

Never charge a citizen based on another citizens word. You need sufficient proof. A citizen blaming their injuries on another character is not sufficient.

You are protecting the civilized society, not its citizens.

If a citizen is bleeding or near death during containment, apply a stimdose to ensure they stay alive for the duration of their cycle/questioning

Do not cycle Biotics as are always charged under SOCIO-ENDANGERMENT LEVEL FIVE and permanently relocated.

When charging a citizen, state any of the following (Falls under cohesive chatter requirement) :

YOU ARE CHARGED WITH  | VIOLATION CODE XX | VIOLATION NAME | VERDICT
Example: Citizen, you are charged with city violation code 15: movement transgression. Prepare to receive civil judgement.
Example: Suspect, you are charged with violation code 603: unlawful entry. Your sentence is five cycles.
Example: Anti-citizen, you are charged with city violation code 243: assault on protection team. Your sentence is permanent-relocation.
